Successful Surgical Management of A Rare Popliteal Arteriovenous Fistula: A Case Report

Abstract

Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) in the popliteal region present unique challenges in diagnosis and management because of their potential to cause significant complications. Surgical intervention, although uncommon, remains crucial in managing complex popliteal AVFs to preserve limb health and ensure optimal patient outcomes. This case underscores the importance of recognizing clinical evidence and employing diagnostic imaging to guide treatment decisions in lower extremity AVFs.
